Quantum bits & k-mapping

Across proofs, boolean algebra, … there are truth tables. A combination of states. True or False. 0 or 1.

Simplify again, and again, and again.

Find what is adjacent and only slightly different.

Combine them. Simplify again.

If you introduce qubits, what happens then? The action of “collapsing”… The image of a stack of papers, flat states… an act of disappearing? Hiding? Merging? Morphing?

To hide in binaries, what is understandable, what is visible.

Is there loss of mass? Was it always there? Is it ready to de-collapse? Can you ever go back?

Do you call it a bit, for what it will be, or bits, for what it can be? Are its possibilities existing together, in common pursuit of the future? Does one dominate another? Survivor’s guilt?

Maybe it always feels guilt, for the future in which it fails to exist, and for the future in which it does, just in case.

Feel for all that can happen, all at once, and collapse.
